This month on Local Vibes Live, hosts Alex Brinkley and Casey Chacon welcome New Mexico's own Era Snow for an intimate interview and captivating live performances.
With a hypnotic voice and richly layered lyrics, Era performs original songs shaped by dreams, memory, and life on the road. Between songs, she opens up about her creative process, travels across the U.S., and how songwriting helps her process life’s shifting realities. The result is an intimate portrait of an artist whose music blends vulnerability, poetic complexity, and an unmistakably ethereal edge.  Mike and Brian were joined by Donald Wilson, Board President of Velo Cruces, and Mike Basehart, Chair of the Communications & Membership Committee, for a great conversation about cycling in Las Cruces.
They discussed upcoming biking events, programs that promote safety and inclusion, and how Velo Cruces is working to make the city more bike-friendly for riders of all ages and skill levels. David Rutherford from Restoring America discussed his group’s efforts to build a new political movement representing Americans who feel disenfranchised by the current political system. He emphasized the importance of public participation and speaking out to promote more reasonable governance that prioritizes the common good over private interests.
Sue Small spoke with Walt and Nancy about her recent trip to Palestine. She shared stories, observations, and reflected on the lasting impressions the trip left on her.
Las Cruces Bulletin Editor Susan Moree joined the hosts to reflect on the state of local journalism and her participation in a recent panel on how to restore trust and strengthen community news.

They also talked about the Senate’s passage of a major budget bill and the challenges of making local news viable. Finally Walt recommended Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
I still have a vivid recollection of the exact moment I knew for certain that the industry I had toiled in since college was in trouble.
It was a TV commercial during the NCAA Basketball Tournament featuring one guy with a newspaper and another guy with a cell phone, which was fairly new at that time. Keith Whelpley returns to Think Again for further exploration of the increasing use of technology for data, information, knowledge, and wisdom(?) and how our fundamental human connections are affected. We recognize that mentoring goes on at all stages of our lives - at all ages - elders, youngers, and peers. The fundamental connection - person to person, face to face, eye to eye, is so important for all of us, in so many ways.
